Four unrecognizable sea tribes, stepping on the ground made of round pebbles, walked towards the boulder from a distance, and not far in front of them were two patrols walking away from the boulder towards a corner. △ Top novel, the four sea tribes are expressionless, and their movements have a special sense of rigidity, but their patrol attitude is very serious, as if they are unwilling to let go of any enemy. In their field of vision, there were no sapient beings, and all of them looked the same as before. The sea tribes did not stop until they reached the boulder before they stood still, looked around with their eyes, and finally turned around and walked back away from the boulder. Behind the four sea tribes, two patrols turned the corner and disappeared from view.

Just as the four sea tribes turned around and began to leave, the calm beach ground suddenly began to churn, as if waves suddenly swelled on the calm sea. The yellow sand, which seemed to be paved with sea sand, suddenly opened up, revealing a black mud covered under the yellow sand, and five bulging parts emerged from the mud, from which semi-solid mud flowed downward. After the mud slid off partially, it was revealed that they were five bulging heads, with diving goggles on their faces and a thick ventilation tube in their mouths. The mud-stained human head only protrudes above its eyes on the beach, crawling silently through the gravel and mud like a crocodile in the water. The high concentration of silt under the beach greatly increases the difficulty of crawling, and several people can only move forward little by little at a slow speed.

During the movement, I don't know who made any warning under the mud, the five people stopped at the same time, lowered their heads, and hid back under the mud, leaving only a few extremely inconspicuous ventilation pipes and mud spots from their hair on the beach. No, it's not just the ventilation tube, there is also a thin metal tube peeking out of the sand a few centimeters from the sand, in the position of a certain head, which is a periscope for diving. You can see the sea from underwater. The periscope slowly rotated from side to side, giving timely feedback to the hidden eyes of the patrol team in front of the beach to the mud.

In the distance, the two patrols on the right returned from the corner, and the view was already covered by the sand, but the beach had long since returned to calm, and it was impossible to see that there were five people lurking in the mud and sand. The patrol slowly walked back to their position in front of the boulder, stood still and began to search around with their eyes, repeatedly crossing the ground where several people were hiding, but the perfect camouflage brought by nature made this search ineffective. The two patrols stayed in front of the boulder for a minute, just like before. The machine left its place and walked around the corner again. However, the five men under the mud and sand did not move lightly, and after a few seconds, the patrol on the left returned again, and if anyone who was impatient enough to move casually before, it was likely to be discovered by the enemy.

Sneaking into the action depends on patient competition and timing mastery, only moving the most appropriate distance at the most appropriate time, and the rest of the time there is enough endurance to wait quietly. to safely enter a dangerous area. The five members of the adventuring group were all very patient and had enough patience to wait for the enemy to reveal a gap, and sure enough, the patrol on the left side walked the fixed route. As they turned their backs to the boulder and left, the opportunity presented itself again, and the heads of the people in the mud came out of the sand again, and this time the five of them did not hesitate. Standing straight straight from the beach, although the lower half of their bodies were swallowed up in the mud, the five of them still worked as fast as they could. Silently sprint forward.

When the last clay figure left a large puddle of muddy water on the pebbles outside the beach area, but its body was already hiding behind the boulder, the two patrols on the right returned again. If they are facing a normal enemy, they will definitely become suspicious of the mud left behind on the ground and search further. But after all, these controlled sea tribes have no will of their own, and they are not even interested in taking a second look at the mud on the ground, and they just walk through the mud, only knowing how to carry out their normal work.

Behind the boulder, several people breathed a sigh of relief together, wiped away the mud that was sticking to their faces and sealed their mouths and noses, spit out the ventilation tube in their mouths, and took a big gulp of fresh air. Before they could catch their breath, one of the clay figures suddenly gestured, and several of them lowered their bodies again at the same time, climbing up the hill along a hidden path behind the boulder, and quickly left the dangerous range that was very close to the patrol.

"Whew, this smell is really smoky. It wasn't until the five of them got into a crevice in the rock, which was relatively safe from the eyes of any patrol, that everyone relaxed and sat down under the rocks on either side. A clay figure vigorously wiped the mud from his head and face, revealing wheat-colored skin and long black hair beneath the filth. Catherine spit out the mud and sand in her mouth in disgust, and said with a tangled face: "But after all, we didn't pay the price in vain, we actually sneaked in." ”

"To be honest, I don't want to do it again. Lina's fair skin and long silver hair were completely unrecognizable, and her whole body had become a black mass. There is nothing Lina can do about this outcome, and unless there is enough water to soak herself in, the chances of her being neat and clean are completely negligible. Finding this conclusion, Lina shook her head hatefully and made the mud on her long hair splash everywhere, until she was slapped Catherine's leg and stopped her prank, and said indignantly: "I really want to take a bath, this feeling of being covered with dirt is simply terrible." ”

"There's no way around it. Instead of cleaning up in vain, Pannis leaned on the edge of the crevice in the rock and looked out, carefully observing the surrounding terrain and the enemy's position and sight, and replied casually: "You have proposed this method, which is full of courage and self-sacrifice." Another thing you may not know is that mud wrestling was played between humans and pigs in the earliest days. ”

"Damn it, the book didn't say it would be so uncomfortable to be covered in mud. Lina said with annoyance, "And the book didn't say that the sludge stinks like this, it's like torture." ”

"Don't complain, stupid. Vivien's face was expressionless, or rather her face was covered in mud that made it impossible for her to make any expressions. For the first time, Vivien was glad for her illness, as her unconscious body didn't need to experience the pain of being covered in mud. Vivien plucked out her ears, drew out as much mud as she could, and said teasingly: "You should be glad to be right, see for yourself, compared to Freya, you are the lucky one." ”

Freya sat on the ground, her eyes glazed over, and she looked completely devastated. Since she was born, she has existed as the daughter of the city lord and has been favored by the entire capital of knowledge. Although her education made her not as arrogant and hypocritical as ordinary aristocratic ladies, nor did she have the delicate and weak spirit, it is undeniable that compared to several other girls, Freya has never really suffered hardships, and from childhood to adulthood, she has maintained her own neatness and manners even in adventures, of course, if her bloated demeanor can also be considered manners.

Therefore, when Lina proposed this infiltration method, the others were most worried about Freya, worried about whether she could accept this unconventional method, but she did not expect that she accepted it without any hesitation, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. This kind of mission-oriented sacrifice made everyone have some admiration, and this admiration reached its climax when Freya left the mud to reveal a nervous breakdown.

"Woo woo, so dirty, so dirty, I've been defiled. Freya sat dumbfounded, not responding to the outside world, only muttering in a low voice: "My purity has been taken away from me by the sludge, woo, I am no longer pure, woowoo, Mr. Pannis, you will hate me for this, and I will lose your love, woooooo ”

"Don't worry, it won't. Pannis shook his head with a straight face: "It is impossible to lose what does not exist at all." ”

"You guys really are. Catherine said distressedly: "Don't forget to mess around at this time." ”

"Otherwise, I'd really break down. Freya's eyes were bright, and she said aggrievedly: "From birth to now, I have really never been so dirty in these years, I have an urge to vomit when I think of the slippery and greasy feeling in the mud, this is really frustrating and sad, well, give me a biscuit, my heart is so sad." ”

"It's really hard for you. Catherine patted Freya on the back: "Bear with me, in order to reward you today, you are specially allowed to eat three pieces of honey cake after dinner, smeared with cream." ”

"Are you serious?" Freya's eyes lit up and she said expectantly, "You promise?"

"Of course, this is a knight's promise. Catherine said: "You are so brave to make a spiritual sacrifice, how can you do it without rewarding." ”

"It's a pleasure. Freya said excitedly, "Why don't I go inside again, how about you reward me with six dollars?"

"You give me about the same. Catherine rolled her eyes and slapped Freya in the stomach, causing her mud-stained belly to fluctuate, "If you do this again, I can take the reward back." ”

"Don't do that. Freya whispered, "I know it's wrong, I don't dare anymore." Hey, why does this always feel so familiar, as if you hear it so often, Mr. Pannis, why?"

"Just play, don't pull me in. Pannis squinted and complained, beckoning, "Come and see, let's go around the left side in a moment, and then climb up, do you see the hole above?"

"Yes, I see. Catherine nodded, "Judging from past experience, there should be a lot of space in there, enough for the five of us to rest in it." ”

"That's right. "When we go up," said Pannis, "we will carry a few medium-sized stones, and when we go in, we will block the entrance to the cave, so that even if a patrol passes through the hole, we will not be able to find us." ”

"No problem, the last thing that is missing here is stones. Catherine said, "Let's all move, move the stones quickly, and we will spend the night in that cave tonight." (To be continued......)
